## What is eSignal?

NOTE: Use of eSignal Mobile requires a subscription to eSignal or LiveCharts, real-time streaming quotes and analysis products for the active trader.

eSignal Mobile provides instant access to the exchanges and services you receive on your desktop with no additional exchange fees.  By adding the eSignal Mobile service to your eSignal account you’ll also get access to QuoTrek Mobile. It is the ideal companion service to the eSignal terminal product.

Its home screen provides one-view access to quotes, charts, and news, plus separate windows for Watch Lists, Detailed Quotes, News, Charts, Stock or Futures Option, Hot Lists and Company Profiles. 

These app features help make for a seamless desktop to mobile experience:

Watch List – Real-time or delayed quotes from the world’s exchanges. 

Detailed Quotes – Quote grid with instrument type-specific configurations and the ability to customize the grid with hundreds of data points. 

Charts – Robust streaming interactive charts with overlays, comparison studies, and a wide variety of chart aggregations and timeframes. 

News – Streaming real-time news from respected sources such as Dow Jones. 

Fundamentals – Comprehensive tearsheet profiles for stock, ETF and mutual fund securities provide fundamental and reference data for investment evaluation.

Options – Equity and futures option chains with filters for strike date, in-the-money, near-the-money and out-of-the-money views. 

Hot Lists – wide range of preset market mover views covering most active, gainers/losers, volume and more.

Preferences – Wide range of customizable options for each window type. 

Conflation Settings – Streaming data usage can be controlled through custom data conflation settings, which allows users to control data usage (and associated cellular data costs).  Data conflation (in seconds) can be set independently for Wifi and cellular network connections. 

Synchronized Entitlements – All the same entitlements that govern a user’s eSignal or LiveCharts desktop account, including rights to access streaming exchange data and news content, are respected in eSignal Mobile. The same account is used to log on to desktop and mobile, ensuring a user is only logged in to on one device at any given time. This mitigates the risk of being liable for dual exchange data usage (and associated fees).

### 4/5 — pre market data

*2022-02-25*

1m charts randomly flash to an incorrect price after 30s of opening the chart. other than that it is very customizable and extremely convenient.

you guys have the potential to dominate the retail trading platform scene, your data feeds are unparalleled; and the main reason I have been a buyer for so long. Add some polish to the mobile app and make it easier to use, it would go a long way as the desktop version has already been cleaned up as well.

### 2/5 — ESignal, IF you care please read....

*2018-11-13*

Dear ESignal,

Sometimes you should expect more. Push the envelope, do what others are not. Mediocre is 2nd place. Of my review, this platform is neither mediocre or a grand gesture. It’s more like you gave us an app (great) and you can finally check that off your list. Nothing sets it apart from any other app. The only difference is now we can sit somewhere and watch live data or news stream anywhere. But guess what, that’s not new.

My question to you (ESignal), is this the wow experience you wanted your subscribers to have. You know those people who pay hundreds of dollars every month. Because this app left me frustrated & upset. 

Very basic and in fact the Barcharts.com app is more interactive. Your app seems to work okay, nothing wow. It has volume (Thankfully) but no volume at price or anything meaningful. No way to draw a horizontal trend line but don’t worry you’ve included a few indicators for those of you who can’t live without them... =~} We know how important those are... 

I downloaded the IPad version just to compare. The chart stretches the whole screen but no way to put up a trend line, no VAP. 

My conclusion: There are differences between barcharts.com and eSignal. Notably, one is more expensive -every month and real-time.

Seriously though the differences are minuscule. Get your act together and set your self apart.

### 4/5 — Needs to a VWAP Study

*2018-01-07*

Good for basic candle stick charting. Would be great if could add VWAP study

### 1/5 — Not quite as described

*2013-12-27*

The description says no additional exchange fees are required and all you need is an eSignal subscription.  Not quite right: eSignal want an additional $35/month to add eSignal Mobile onto your account. I won't bother.

### 3/5 — Great app but a little misleading

*2013-08-01*

The app itself is fantastic.   Great charts and very customizable.     But no where in the app description do they mention the additional $35 dollars a month it costs to actually use the app.  Very clear on their web site but still should be made clear when downloading the app.
